There are many different kinds of products in mathematics, including products of polynomials or matrices, products on many different algebraic structures, and products of a sequence). The product operator for the product of a sequence is denoted by the capital Greek letter pi Π). The empty product on numbers and most algebraic structures has the value of 1, just like the empty sum has the value of 0). In addition to multiplication, other vocabulary related to multiplication includes "times," "multiplied," and "lots" of.
